GREEN TWP. — In about two months, Mercy Health will ded- icate the West Side’s newest hospital. Mercy Health’s West Market Leader and President Mike Ste- phens said construction of the new Mercy Health – West Hos- pital in Green Township is on schedule to open this fall. “It is a flurry of activity,” he said. “An average of 350 to 400 construction workers are there each day. A lot of the work has turned to the interior finishes.” He said he visits the site five days a week and every time he’s there something new has been finished. “Most of the patient rooms are complete and the operating rooms are ready for equip- ment,” Stephens said. Mercy Health is building a 650,000-square-feet, full-ser- vice hospital off of North Bend Road, near Interstate 74. The 250-bed hospital, which won a national award for archi- tecture and design, will feature the latest advancements in pa- tient care and comfort, state-of- the-art technologies, private pa- tient rooms with family areas, a 2.5-acre environmentally- friendly green roof and expand- ed medical services for West Siders. Stephens said construction will be finished by the end of September, and then it will take several weeks for crews to bring in hospital equipment and supplies, calibrate clinical equipment and test the build- ing’s mechanical and technol- ogy systems. Mercy Health is set to host a ribbon cutting and dedication ceremony at the hospital at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15. Tours of the facility will follow the cere- mony.

Scott Kramer said he’sdreamedof being awriterfor as long as he can re-member.

“I startedwritingwhenI was in the sixth-grade,”he said. “I’ve alwayswanted to write.”

Kramer’s dream of be-coming a writer has cometrue. He has authored twonovels that have beenpublished by TurquoiseMorning Press.

Hehasa thirdbookdueout this September.

“Taking the Plunge,” amystery novel set in Cin-cinnati was released lastfall, and “Kara,” a novelgeared for young adults,was published this spring.

“It was kind of cool tosee my work in print,”Kramer said.

He said “Taking thePlunge” tells the story ofJane Monterrey, an inex-perienced Cincinnati pri-vate eye tasked with solv-ing the mysterious deathof a well-known million-aire, who plunged to hisdemise outside her officewindow.

“The thing I think Cin-cinnatians like about it isthe fact they can walk inthe lead character’s foot-steps,” Kramer said. “Shevisits places like Terry’sTurf Club andGameTime

Sports Barin Chevi-ot.”

Thebookhehascoming outthis fall istitled“HorsingAround.”

It’s the second book in aplanned three-part JaneMonterrey mystery se-ries and is also set in Cin-cinnati, he said.

Kramer, a sixth-gradelanguage arts and readingteacher at Our Lady ofGrace School in ColerainTownship, said “Kara” isdedicated to his studentsand could be compared tonovels like “The Chroni-cles of Narnia” or “TheLord of the Rings.”

“My students havebeen very excited aboutit,” he said. “They loved tocritique it and offer mefeedback on it while I waswriting it, and they alsoserved as inspiration forit.”

Both his novels areavailable in paperbackand e-book formats atAmazon.com. They arealso sold at Joseph-BethBooksellers in the Rook-wood Pavilion and theBroadhope Art Collectivein Cheviot.

COLERAIN TWP. — Thecommunity is a few stepscloser to sidewalks onPoole Road.

FrankBirkenhauer, as-sistant administrator andeconomic developmentdirector for the township,got the go-ahead at a July30 trustee meeting to ne-gotiatewithTranSystemsfor construction right-of-way easements for side-walks alongPooleRoad aspart of the Safe Route toSchools project.

The township is pursu-ing a plan by Kleingers &Associates Inc. to installsidewalks from ColerainMiddle School at 4700Poole Road to the inter-section ofPoole andChev-iot roads. Mapquestshows the distance as justunder amile.

The sidewalks are partofaSafeRoutestoSchoolsplan developed by a taskforcein2008that includedofficials from ColerainTownship and the North-west Local School Dis-trict, as well as parentsand residents from thearea around Colerain ele-mentary and middleschools.

The group walked theroutes used by studentsand made recommenda-tions as part of the proc-ess used to develop theplan.

SafeRoutestoSchool isan Ohio Department ofTransportation programstarted in 2006with a goalof making it easier andsafer for students toget toschool. It uses federalfunds to give grants tocommunities to make thenecessary improvements.

Colerain is set to re-ceive more than $268,000in Safe Routes to Schoolgrantmoney to build side-walks along Poole Road.The township pays forconstruction right-of-wayacquisition and associat-ed costs. Birkenhauersaid the township’s costsarenot toexceed$150,000.

He said the construc-tion project should beready for bid in the firstquarter of 2015 and con-structionshouldbeunder-way by summer of thatyear.

Birkenhauer said thetownship has selected aplan that places the side-walks on the north side ofPoole Road between Cole-rain middle and elemen-tary schools to Brockton

Drive and then the side-walks switch to the southside of Poole CheviotRoad.

Pauletta Crowley, ad-ministrative assistant forcommunity and adminis-trative services for theschool district, said offi-cials are pleased that theproject is gettingcloser toconstruction.

Crowley was an assis-tant principal at ColerainMiddle School in 2007when the project beganand remembers the par-ent surveys toget inputonthe plan and committee

members and volunteerswalking the routes beingused by students to assesspotential hazards.

“We are thrilled,” shesaid.“Thishasbeenaverylong time coming. Thesidewalks will give ourstudents at Colerain Ele-mentary and ColerainMiddleSchoolasaferoutetothehighschool,andthatconnects all three of ourbuildings.

“Ourstudentswillhavesafe sidewalks andwill nolonger have to walk in thegulliesorout intraffic.Weare just very pleased.”

Colerain sidewalk project moving aheadBy Jennie [email protected]

The sidewalks being built through the Safe Routes toSchool program will be on the north side of Poole Road,which is on the left here, until they reach the vicinity ofBrockton Drive. The sidewalks will then pick up on thesouth side of Poole Road near the rear driveway toColerain High School and continue on to Cheviot Road.JENNIE KEY/THE COMMUNITY PRESS

As I’ve mentioned before, Iknow when a recipe hits achord with readers by theamount of response it gener-ates long after it’s published.

This is partic-ularly true ofseasonal recipes,like roastedtomatoes.

This recipe isslightly differ-ent from one Ishared last year.Tomatoes are inseason right nowand the home-grown/best are

abundant at farmers’ markets.As for me, my tomatoes are

the best I’ve ever grown andsince most of them are theindeterminate type, they keepbearing all season long. I’m noteven begrudging the ground-hogs eating their share, there’sthat many! When I do findveggies and fruit that havebeen bitten into byMotherNature’s clan, I just cut themup and feed them to my girls(my chickens). They make aquick meal of them,

Tomatoes are full of lyco-pene, which is good for ourhearts, men’s prostates and ourimmune system. Plus the yel-low and orange tomatoes havejust as much nutrition as theirred counterparts.

Roasted regular-sizetomatoes with herbs (ornot)

Preheat oven to 400-425degrees. Cut tomatoes in half.Lay either cut side up or down(I laid mine cut side down butnext time will lay them cut sideup since I think that will keepmore of the tomato flavor in).Drizzle with olive oil and sprin-kle on any herbs you like –basil, thyme, rosemary allwork well. But be sure and

chop them up fine. I also like toadd salt and pepper. Roast untilskins start to look spotty if youare roasting skin side up. Oth-erwise, roast until tomatoeslook wrinkled and are soft.

Let cool and, if you like,remove skins. The first time Imade them I didn’t remove theskins, but when I used them incooked dishes they were a littletough. My suggestion is toremove them or put them inthe blender or food processorand the skins will processsmall enough. You will wind upwith more of a puree if you putthem through the blender orfood processor, but the bonus isyou get the nutritious benefitsof the skin. Freeze in desiredquantities.

Roasted cherry tomatoeswith herbs and garlic

This is nice since everythingis mixed in a boil and then justpoured onto a sprayed pan toroast. Delicious as a side dishand, if you want to freeze them,you can either leave the skinson (they may be a bit tough) orpuree them as directed above.Now you can also roast theseplain, with just a sprinkling ofsalt and pepper and oil.

Preheat oven to 400-425degrees. For every pint ofcherry or grape tomatoes, adda teaspoon of minced garlic, adrizzle of olive oil to coat nice-ly, and salt and pepper. Justmix this up in a bowl. If youhave any herbs, again likebasil, thyme or rosemary, chopup fine and add to taste. Pour

onto sprayed baking pan androast until skins look spottyand a bit puffy, about 20 min-utes.

Baked potato nachoswith secret ingredient

For Bart L., who likes thisspicy appetizer at restaurantsbut wants to make them athome. By boiling potatoes first,they bake up really nice in theoven. And the secret ingredientthat makes these so different?Ranch dressing!

10medium red or Yukon goldpotatoes

1 pouch ranch salad dressingJalapeño slices (optional)16 oz. shreddedMexican blend orfavorite cheese

16 oz. sour creamGreen onions or chives, sliced thin

Cook potatoes with skin on:cover with cold water and adash of salt. Bring to boil, re-duce heat, cover and cook justuntil tender, about 15 minutes.Drain and cool so that you cancut them into thick slices. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Put slices in single layer onsprayed baking sheets. Sprin-kle each with the dressing mix,jalapeños, and the cheeses.Bake uncovered for 8-10 min-utes or until cheese melts.Dollop with sour cream andonions or chives.

Evaluating what companies stand forHowmuch do you know

about the companies that youdo business with?

Socially responsible in-vesting is a growing movementin which people choose theirinvestments based on howclosely a company’s valuesreflect their own. While social-ly responsible investing typi-cally encompasses financialinvestments, shareholder ad-vocacy and community in-vestments, there is also anoth-er kind of investment to con-sider – an investment of one’stime and purchasing power.

In today’s world, people arelooking for ways to transfertheir financial decisions intoreal impacts that will promotetheir ideals. That can meanmaking “green,” “sustainable”or “ethical” investments. It canalso mean giving your businessto companies – banks, enter-

tainment ven-ues, restau-rants – whosestated missionand philan-thropic philos-ophies matchyour own.

Decidingwhere to dobusiness caninvolve a va-

riety of considerations, evenbefore you get to the “sociallyresponsible” part. Does a com-pany offer the quality youdesire? How are its productsrated? Does the price workwith your budget? How conve-nient is it to do business?

Another big factor is rep-utation. It’s the bridge thatlinks both practical and social-ly responsible considerations.Most people want to work witha company that treats custom-

ers right; a company they cantrust to do the right thing. Thatcan lead to deeper questionsabout whether a company issocially responsible. With alittle research, companies’corporate culture, vendor andcommunity relationships, envi-ronmental practices and morecan come into focus.

Here are a few tips to getstarted:

» Friends and family. Con-sult them—they are excellentresources who are often eagerto provide feedback abouttheir first-hand experiences.

» Online reviews. Specificproducts are often reviewed onwebsites like Amazon.com byother consumers and rated ona five-point scale.

» Social media. Pose a ques-tion on Facebook or Twitterand get answers from a largerpool of individuals.

»Newsmedia. What storiesdo you see about this compa-ny? Is it positive or negative?

» Company websites. Bal-ance what is learned in yourmedia research with what acompany produces. Do theyhave a corporate social respon-sibility report or an annualreport? If so, read them.

» Better Business Bureau.Companies are rated for ser-vice and quality and their han-dling of customer issues.

» Store-fronts. Visit beforeyou buy. Do they allow you toask questions? Are the employ-ees knowledgeable? Do theylisten to you?

Once you make a decision,re-evaluate it over time. Didthe bank you chose deliver onits promises? Did the restau-rant’s service and food matchyour impressions from yourresearch?

I know at Fifth Third, wefocus intently on living up toour purpose; it has to do withlistening to customers andinspiring themwith smartfinancial solutions that contin-ually improve their lives andthe well-being of our communi-ties. Our investments in cus-tomers, employees and com-munities – all part of corporatesocial responsibility – are im-portant to us because they areimportant to you.

The fact is, as a consumer,you have a world of choices tomake, and a world of data tohelp guide you. Companiesknow that. We know the poweryou hold, and we don’t justwant your business. We alsowant your respect.

Caring for an aging lovedone can be very rewarding,but also very challenging.What’s concerning for familycaregivers is that the pres-sure resulting from caregiv-ing responsibilities can causea potentially dangerous condi-tion called caregiver distress.

Studies increasingly pointto caregiving as a leadingstressor for families. In fact,one U.S. study revealed thatmore than half (52.8 percent)of those caring for individ-uals with diseases includingcancer or Alzheimer’s hadscores indicating depression.Caregiver distress also canlead to heart disease, diabe-tes, depression and otherphysical and emotion risks.

For instance, approximate-ly 74 percent of caregiverswho hide their feelings reportfatigue, 53 percent reportdifficulty sleeping, 37 percentreport depression, and 30percent weight gain or loss.Research shows that certaincharacteristics make familycaregivers more vulnerableto caregiver distress, the topbeing:

»Gender: Women reportmore psychological distressthan men (however, malecaregivers have more nega-tive physiological responsesto caregiving, including high-er blood sugar and insulinlevels, poorer cholesterol andimmune function, and obesi-ty).

» Reluctance to ask forhelp: Caregivers who won’task for help are setting them-selves up for the kind of ex-haustion that can lead to dis-tress.

» Chronic illness: Care-givers who are already sickor have existing medicalconditions, such as coronarydisease, hypertension andcancer, are more vulnerableto additional negative healtheffects resulting from care-giver stress.

I find that with many ofour clients’ families where aloved one is the primary care-giver, they fall into the trap ofbelieving that they have to doeverything themselves. Myadvice is, don’t fall into thatmindset. Take advantage ofthe many resources and tools

available tohelp youprovide carefor yourloved one.

It’s soimportant forcaregivers tounderstandthat stresscan impactone’s abilityto care. If

they don’t care for them-selves, they may put theirsenior loved ones at risk.Whether it’s joining supportgroups, employing stressmanagement techniques oracquiring respite help, care-givers-10

need to realize the impor-tance of managing theirhealth, too.

The first step for somefamily caregivers is to recog-nize that they are indeedcaregivers. Whether they arecaring for a spouse or a par-ent, caregivers need to knowtheir role and their potentialrisk.

As a caregiver, you shouldfocus on what you are able toprovide. Don’t give into guilt.Guilt is normal; however, youmust remember that no one isperfect and you are doingyour best for your loved one.Remember that stress hasless negative effect on youwhen you recognize what youare feeling and accept thosefeelings.

One tool, called Are You aCaregiver Quiz, is designed tohelp a family caregiver iden-tify and recognize his or herrole as a caregiver. Anothertool, the Family CaregiverDistress Assessment, allowsthose caregivers to determinetheir risk for distress andresulting emotional and phys-ical issues, including depres-sion, heart disease, high bloodpressure, diabetes and obesi-ty.

Aug. 14 questionShould U.S. lawmakers and

their staffs continue to receive afederal contribution toward thehealth insurance that they mustpurchase through soon-to-openexchanges created by PresidentBarackObama’s signaturehealth-care law to prevent the largelyunintended loss of healthcarebenefits for 535 members of theSenate and House of Representa-tives and thousands of CapitolHill staff. Why or why not?

“The 535 members of Con-gress and their staffs should besubject to exactly the same reg-ulations and laws as otherAmerican Citizens.

“They should contribute totheir health care as the generalpublic does. They should alsopay into social security (FICA).There should not be any retire-ment benefits above Social Se-curity unless they have served30 years.

“Better yet, have term limitsand force them to get real jobs.Too often these makers of thelawneverheldareal jobandare“above the law”.Theypass lawsthatapply toall except them.GoFigure!”

T.D.T.

“Yes. Everyone scheduled toreceive a contribution fromem-ployers should still receive thatcontribution, no matter forwhom they work.

“If the conservatives andObama-haterswould just give ita chance they'd see all the goodthat the Affordable Care Actcan accomplish instead of try-ing to repeal it 40more times inCongress.

“It's meant to help the poorand uninsured just like theNewDeal back 70-oddyears agodur-ing the Great Depression."

TRog

“Although it would be nice ifmaking lawmakers pay fortheir own health care wouldbring their attention to theplight of most Americans, thecost of their personal insuranceis chump change compared tothe campaign contributionsthey get from the special inter-ests in the medical field.

“Since Citizen's United it's afree-for-all for rich individualsand corporations. The onlything holding some of the worstof them back is the sheer im-practicality of most of theirideas.

“Whatwouldworkbetter is ifmore citizen voters would paymore attention to how some ofthese creeps in Columbus andWashington vote, andgive themunlimited vacation time at thenext election.

“Unfortunately with themedia breaking into venues,which allow people to get thenews they want as opposed tothe news that is actually true,we're going to have an uphillbattle getting any sort of con-sensus on public health in ournation.

“Fortunately, the AffordableCare Act is already cuttingcosts formanyofus, andeven ifit doesn't solve the bigger prob-lems itwill set the stage for con-tinued dialogue.”

N.F.

“The 535 members of Con-gress (and their staffs) shouldbe subject to exactly the sameregulations and laws as otherAmericanCitizens.Theyshouldcontribute to their health careas thegeneral public does.Theyshouldalsopay intoSocial Secu-rity (FICA).There shouldnot beany retirement benefits aboveSocial Security unless theyhaveserved30years.Betteryethave termlimitsandforce themto get real jobs. Too often thesemakers of the law never held a

real job and are ‘above the law.’They pass laws that apply to allexcept them. Go figure!"

T.D.T.

Aug. 7 questionShould theminimumwage for

fast-food workers be doubledfrom $7.25 to $15 an hour andshould they be given the right tounionize? Why or why not?

“Raising the minimum wageforanyone is a stupid idea. Ifweraised theminimumwage,whatwould happen to the price of ev-erything these workers pro-duce or the services they pro-vide? They would go higher, ofcourse, by the same proportionof the wage increase. Then,thoseofuswhodon’tmakemini-mumwagewill see our costs in-crease so we would need a pro-portionate wage increase tokeep from falling behind.Prices would continue to in-crease leading to a loss of jobsthrough outsourcing becausethe costs of production in theU.S. is too high. Those on fixedincomes would find it increas-ingly difficult to make endsmeetwhichwouldmean theendof their independence.”

David Greschel

“I’m no economist but some-thing needs to change. Incomedisparity is a real and growingproblem. I don’t think it’s fairthat the owners of many largecorporations make exorbitantamounts ofmoneywhile payingtheir workers so little, leavingtaxpayers to fill the incomegap,with Medicaid, food stamps,etc. As with many other big in-stitutions, unions are far fromperfect, but historically theyhave helped level the playingfield and promote the growth ofthen middle class.”

COLERAIN TWP. — Colerainfootball coach Tom Boldenthinks he has the perfect quar-terback to run his triple-optionoffense for the 2013 season.

Alfred Ramsby is gone, so insteps senior Kelvin Cook, whohad three attempts last seasonbut also hauled in six receptionsfor 156 yards and a score.

“He’s a very talented youngman,” Bolden said of his left-handed quarterback. “… He’sgot a lot ofwiggle, he’s unbeliev-ably fast and he’s one of thosekids who can change directionwithout slowing down. … He’swhatyou look for to run this typeof offense.”

One of Cook’s battery matesin the backfield isDetuanSmith.After racking up nearly 1,000yards of offense and 10 touch-downs last season, Bolden isplacing very high praise on hissenior this season.

“He’sourguy,”thecoachsaid.“I personally believe he’s thebest football player around witheverything he can do.…He’ll beable todoquiteabit forusandheandKelvinwill representa largeportion of the offense for us.”

Ross Demmel and Josh Bo-land are back on the offensiveline, while Kendall Strader willmake his Cardinal debut at the

center position.Defensively the Cards look

strong.Senior Aric Johnson will

make the move from defensiveline to linebacker, where he willjoin heavily recruited senior Te-gray Scales.

BrianRandolph isbackon theline where he will be joined by308 pound nose guard JacobTodd, who will start for the firsttime in his career at Colerain.

In the secondary, senior JalenChristian is back at the corner-back position, while senior RyanWilliamson is backat safety. Theduo combined for nine intercep-tions last season.WillDavenportwill take over the second safetyposition.

“That’s good stuff becausethey have a year of the defense

under their belt,” Bolden said ofhis experiencedsecondary. “Theexperience they bring to makesure they get the checks rightandget thesecondary inpositionis the huge part.”

According to Rivals.com, theCardinals begin the seasonranked No. 58 in the nation.

COLERAINTWP.—Coming offback-to-back winning seasonsunder former coach Chad Mur-phy, the Northwest Knightshope to keep the momentumrolling under first-year coachNate Mahon.

Mahon – a Hamilton HighSchool graduate and formerMi-ami University linebacker –made themovebackhomeafter

most recentlycoaching at Cen-tral Dauphin andpreviously atBishop McDe-vitt,both inPenn-sylvania.

“… SouthwestOhio has greatfootball,” Mahonsaid. “I think it’s

second to none, humbly speak-ing. This was an opportunity toget towhere I grewup and be inan area I’mused to and in a situ-ation that’s beenup-and-comingas of late.”

Up-and-coming is right. TheKnights combined to go 15-6over the past two seasons, earn-ing themselves a playoff berthin 2012. According to Mahon, ifit’s not broke don’t fix it.

“I give kudos to coach Mur-phy forwhat he’s done,” he said.“This is a situation where theyhaven’t seen a whole lot of win-ning seasons until recently. If aguy comes in and does well, Idon’t think you can wipe theslate clean. You have to respectthe fact that he did a great job.”

Mahon will have someweap-ons to play with on offense.

Quarterback Cory Robersonis back for his senior campaignafter accounting for more than2,200 total yards and 22 touch-

downs last season on his way tofirst-team All-Southwest OhioConference honors.

“Cory is an excellent, excel-lent player and he’s also a stu-dent of the game,” the coachsaid. “He takes everything yousay to heart and listens andlearns from it.”

Darius Johnson returns toplay both sides of the ball. Heracked up 350 yards and twotouchdowns at receiver, whilealso playing defensive back.

“Darius is a tremendous ath-

lete,” Mahon said. “He can playbig-time college football on ei-ther side (of the ball). He’s anoutstanding wide receiver andanoutstandingdefensiveback.”

DeVohn Jackson is a guy towatch out of the backfield. Thestate champion runner as partof the 4x100-meter relay teamaveraged nearly seven yardsper touch last season.

While his style on offense issimilar to that of Murphy, Ma-hon has made some majorchangesonthedefensivesideof

theball,mainly focusedonstop-ping the run, which is key in therun-heavy SWOC.

All eight teams in the confer-ence averaged 155 yards ormore on the ground per game.

“We feel it’s necessary tostop the run,” Mahon said.“We’ve added a couple moreguys to different positions andwe’re playing with less defen-sivebacks,perse, in theschemeandweare trying topress the is-sue to stop the run. That is No.1.”

MONFORT HEIGHTS — A neweraof football isunderwayatLaSalle High School.

After Tom Grippa steppeddown to take over as assistantcoach and offensive coordina-tor at the College of Mount St.Joseph, Nate Moore takes overa Lancer program that has ex-perienced just one losing sea-son over the past four years.

Moore – who was most re-cently at Minster High School –doesn’t really concern himselfwith the recent past at La Salle.

“When you are the new guy Ithink you have to throw a coldbucket ofwater on everything,”the coach said. “You can’t beworried about hurting some-body’s feelings or how thingsweredone in thepast.Yougot tocome in and establish your ex-pectations and how things aregoing to be run under your pro-gram.”

For Moore to keep up thewinning tradition at La Salle, hewill need to get the ball in thehands of wide receiver DerekKief, who hauled in 65 recep-tions for a Greater CatholicLeague South leading 907 yardswith nine touchdowns.

Who will throw the ball toKief? That is still to be deter-mined.

Drew Crispin, Eric GreeneandNickWatson are all battlingfor the the starting spot.Watsonwould seem to be the front run-ner after tossing for 510 yardson 85 attempts last season as afreshman.

No matter the quarterback,

his protection upfront on the of-fensive line is seasoned and allstarts with senior center JoeKemme.

“Everything starts upfrontandinthemiddle, so tohavethatone position (center) that youknow you don’t have to worryabout is certainly a calming ef-fect on the coaches,” Mooresaid.”

Joining Kemme is sopho-more Luke Doeger and juniorBrandon Lester.

Defensively, Jordan Thomp-son and R.J. Goodwin have thedefensive tackle position onlockdown, while Will PowersandQuinnHerbertwillman theend positions.

“We have good players, butwe have really, really goodkids,” Moore said. “They arecoachable. You ask them to dosomething and they do it.

SPRINGFIELD TWP. — De-fenses better be prepared forthe bevy of offensive weaponsthe St. Xavier Bombers are go-ing to bring to the field in 2013.

Senior quarterback NickTensing returns after throwingfor nearly 2,000 yards and 17touchdowns to just six intercep-tions. Coach Steve Specht notonly loveswhat his quarterbackcandoon the field, butalsowhat

he brings to thehuddle.

“(I’ve seen)tremendousgrowth as far asleadership iscon-cerned,” Spechtsaid. “… He’sable to do thingsthat we wouldn’tbe able to dowith

anybody else. He’s really takento the leadership role.”

Tensing is one of four teamcaptains along with runningback C.J. Hilliard, left tackleRich Kurz and the versatileRyan Frey.

Hilliard torched defensesfor nearly five yards per carryand nine touchdowns in 2012.After hitting theweight room inthe offseason, defenses shouldexpect to see more of the bigback this season.

“… C.J. is practicing harderthan I’ve ever seen,” Spechtsaid. “He finally learned how topractice.He’s at a different lev-el than he’s been the previousthree years, but that’s how it’ssupposed to be when you’re go-ing into your senior year.”

For the Tensing-Hilliard

freight train to roll down hill, arebuilt offensive line is going tohave to come together. Kurz isthe lone returner and the rest ofthe starters are still to be deter-mined, according to Specht.

The defense is led by juniorlinebacker Justin Hilliard, whois one of the most recruitedplayers in the state of Ohiowithmore than 20 offers frommajorDivision I colleges.

“… He is a different playerand he’s as advertised,” Spechtsaid. “There’s a reason he’s get-ting all these college scholar-

ship offers. I think Justin hasthe chance to be as good as any-body we’ve ever had on the de-fensive side of the ball andthat’s high praise coming fromme.”

While the Bombers lose fourof their five starters in the de-fensive secondary, they returnsix of their starting seven upfront at linebacker and defen-sive line.

Frey will hold down the cor-nerback position and see timeon the offensive side of the ball,while Nick Carovillano will

move from the defensive line tomore of a hybrid outside line-backer.

The Bombers begin the sea-son ranked No. 24 in the nationbyRivals.comand, according toMaxPreps, have the10th-tough-est schedule in the country.

Outside of playing theirleague games in the GreaterCatholic League South, theBombers take on Colerain,Cleveland St. Ignatius, WarrenCentral (Indianapolis), Brent-wood Academy (Tenn.) and BenDavis (Indianapolis).

MOUNT HEALTHY — Comingoff a 9-2 season and capturingthe inaugural Southwest OhioConference championship, theMount Healthy Owls are hun-gry for more in 2013.

Despite graduating six start-ers on defense and five on of-fense, coach Arvie Crouch be-lieves in reloading, not rebuild-ing.

“I think we’vegot a goodenough programright now wherewe can just fitsome people in,”he said. “Obvi-ously losing sen-iors is tough be-cause you losethat experience,

but we also have some youngguys that areprettyeager togetin there and get it done.”

One of those young guys issophomoreDavidMontgomery.While he only touched the ball27 times last season, he madethe most of those touches aver-aging eight yards per carry andcrossing the goal line six times.Montgomery is expected to seetime all over the field at quar-terback, running back andwidereceiver.

Maybe the most notable re-turner for theOwls is seniorTy-ree Elliott. The quarterback/running back earned SWOCCo-Athlete of the Year honors de-spite only playing in sevengames due to a torn ACL, whichhe suffered in the eighth game

of the season at Wilmington.While on the field he was superproductive, racking up morethan 1,100 yards on the groundand averaging nearly 11 yardsper carry.

“Tyree is back,” Crouch said.“…He’ll be all over the place.…He’s actually throwing the ballpretty well at this time in theyear. I am just so impressedwith his work ethic and his atti-tude.”

Speed is a constant with theOwls and senior Havier Pittsdoesn’t lack in that category.

Crouchreferred tohimasbeing“dynamite” this year at multi-ple positions.

“We keep it simple, but we

are going to try and take advan-tage of our speed,” Crouch said,who is in his fifth season withthe Owls. “That is our key.”

Creating space for thatspeed will be the offensive line,or the“Fatbacks,”as they like tobe called. The combination ofKeeryon Deal, Joe Townsend,Will Moore, Eric Finnell, Ste-vozz Foster, Zack Kerber,Courtnie Hyatt and Justin Hen-ry will look to back up theirnickname.

The defense, like it has beenin the past, is led by the Lackeybrothers, Jordan and Justin.Theduo combined for 6.5 sacks,five forced fumbles and fourfumble recoveries.

“…We always said we aren’tgoing to have many problemswhen they become seniors andright now they are doing prettygood,” Crouch said. “They are alot stronger, a lot thicker, butthey still have the samemental-ity. They just run to the ball andthey are just a great energy toour team.”

ST. BERNARD — All thingspoint to a major turnaround forthe Roger Bacon Spartans in2013.

After a 0-10 2012 season,coach Kevin Huxel likes whathe’s seeing so far.

“We can do a lot,” the coachsaid.“I thinkwehaveachancetobe really productive and be ableto move the ball. Everybody issaying that this time of year, butoptimismishighatRogerBaconright now.”

Much of the optimism is dueto the return of quarterbackRuggiero DeLuca, who tossedfor more than 1,300 yards lastseason.

“Hekeptgettingbetter as theyear went on,” Huxel said. “…He can make the throws. He’llmake all the throws necessarythis season.”

Running back Eli Nixon isalso back after rushing for ateam-high 527 yards in his firstyear at the position.

With a full yearunderhis beltat the position Huxel believeshe’s ready for a big year.

“… This year he’s under-standing the holes and where tocut and how to get to the line-men’s feet,” he said. “He’s notjust running, but he’s doing a lotmore things and understandinghow to run the ball.”

You can’t succeed at eitherposition without an offensiveline.Fourof the five linemenareback from last year and one ofthem, Sam Brown, has the abil-ity to be special, according toHuxel.

“He’ll be getting some looksfrom the big (colleges). He’s a

big kid and when he puts hismind to it, he can be the bestplayer on the field. There’s nodoubt about it.”

AlsobackonthelineareRyanBarnes and Paul Tepe. MaxBishop is back, but will miss a“couple” games due to knee sur-gery, according to the coach.

On defense the Spartans re-turn their top seven leadingtacklers from last season.

While that excites Huxel, theadditionofReadingtransferandlinebacker George Nicholas hasthe coach really liking what hesees.

“It helps a lot,” he said of the

transfer. “… That’s going to addanother dimension. He brings amore physical presence to us.We are looking at good things.”

Freshman Amir Reed is an-other addition in a secondarythat returns Slaton Brummett,John Byrd, Andrew Hawkinsand Nixon.

COLLEGE HILL — Winshaven’t been easy to come byfor the Aiken High School foot-ball team the past couple of sea-sons.

The Falcons went 0-10 lastyearandareona12-game losingstreak that dates back to 2011.

Head coach Guy Westmore-land, who is beginning his thirdyear as head coach, has over-seen a program and school intransition since taking over thecoaching reigns.

A new era was ushered in atAikenAug. 21, as theFalcons re-turned to a new school built inCollege Hill.

While students waited tomove into their new building,they attended a temporaryspace on Baltimore Avenue thepast two years.

During that time, enrollmentsuffered as just 41 studentswere in last year’s freshmanclass, according to Westmore-land.

The football team’s rosterwas even leaner, as just 18 stu-dent-athletes took to the grid-iron last season.

But with a new year and newhome, Westmoreland is hopefulthings are about to change.

The Falcons are in their newschool, andenrollment isup,butparticipation in football hasn’tseen much of a boost yet, witharound 20 kids coming out reg-ularly this summer.

Westmoreland is hopeful hisroster will grow when summerbreak ends and kids get backinto the classroom.

While things have been leanthe past couple seasons, there’sa positive attitudewith those in-vested in the program, accord-ing to Westmoreland.

“I think we’re about a yearway to really being back wherewe ought to be competitive,

numbers wise,” he said. “We”llstart to pick it up after this sea-son.”

As for the current campaign,the Falcons will field a youngteam with several freshmenandsophomoresplayingsignifi-cant time.

On offense, Westmorelandwill have junior Alejandro Bol-er back at wide receiver. Bolerreceived Second-Team All-CMACacclaim for his efforts in2012.

A small roster pressed Bolerinto playing both offense anddefense last season, and West-moreland is looking forward to

maximizing Boler’s talents onone side of the ball this fall.

At quarterback, sophomoreSamonte Griffin will take thesnaps under center.

Griffin has grown in sizesincehis freshmanyear, andhistechnique is also better, accord-ing to Westmoreland.

On defense, sophomore Jar-vis Terry will look to build off aseason in which he nabbed All-CMAC Honorable Mention as afreshman.

Terry brings a energetic atti-tude to the field and resume hisroles at the defensive end/line-backer positions.

“I always love Jarvis’ atti-tude,” Westmoreland said.“He’s a tough kid and he doesn’tlike the word no.”

As Aiken and Westmorelandtry to get things moving in theright direction, the head coachis hopeful the community takesnotice.

From the student body, to

fans, to alumni, Westmorelandwants people to get excitedabout Aiken.

He’llbe thefirst toadmit thatwinningcancreatea lotof inter-est, but there’s more to it thanthat.

“We’d like for everybody tobe interested and excited andrestore some pride and a senseof community…We’re back (inCollege Hill) now...We can takecare of that with winning, butthere’s other things I want us todo..”

Aiken kicks off the season atWyoming Aug. 30.

The Falcons will play homegamesatStargelStadiumonthecampus of Taft High School. Ai-ken’s new school is equippedwithafootball field,but theven-ue is not yet ready to host varsi-ty games.
